All the RomCom of Qi Xi

Like everyone else, I had a rather, err, interesting geocities webpage series. Mainly, it was a bunch of sites about my various dogs but it also had a few of my first online get togethers on there. Before I entered fandom and went to cons, I was part of a group called the TriviaRegs and, before that, The Brats. We dominated the trivia chatrooms of Yahoo. We were elitist jerks and we loved it. We had our own set of rules on how to interact with others and woe to the person that violated those rules (NO NUMBER QS). In 2000, we had our first get together in Chicago and I just spent an hour or so revisiting memories from that get together. Oh man, the memories.

From there, it was Pleasure Island and Vegas and San Fran and Chicago once more. I organized the Vegas one and omg, so much fun to do. I still have my t-shirts with and without signatures. There was wank and the occasional kerfluffle but, all in all, a brilliant bunch of folks. You could almost say that this was my first online fandom, even if it was random trivia. I still talk to some of these people years later. I just found one of the last photos of a friend of mine and her husband. He had a massive coronary like a week after the photo was taken.

I'm feeling super nostalgic and I'm sort of sad that geocities is going away, even if I rarely visit.

I grabbed photos off my webpages as that's all I really had to lose. I'm sad to see some of the X-Men fic disappear because that's only on geocities.

I'm all super nostalgic right now, which is all right since it was my birthday and I always turn introspective and contemplative around then. I've been mainlining Knights of the Old Republic and I'm falling in love with Canderous and Carth all over. I love the slash, don't get me wrong but in this fandom, het is the OTP. I have such a tough time choosing between Carth and Canderous. Canderous is all ubermale and Carth is the touchyfeely angstflyboy. They're both lovely but I cannot see anything with them together.

And ugh, finished Korriban but, dude, what a waste of time because there was no Dustil and I can't have no Dustil because Dustil makes Carth happy :( (yeah, like all of 3 of you will get what I'm angsting about here). So, off to Tatooine and then to redo Korriban.

Why, yes, this is how I've been spending my vacation. :D I have one more day and then right back into 60-70 hours a week of work again.

( She doesn't want to be like this... )

First - a wonderful piece of artwork...Inches from a kiss. It's labeled as Snape/Black. Personally, I'm thinking Regulus cause otherwise, blech but still amazing work. You all know, by now (hopefully), that I don't like Snape in any type of sexual situation. Sorry but the man's willy shrivels and dies whenever it's used for anything other than urination.

The fact that I'm pimping a piece of artwork with Snape kissing has got to tell you how amazing I find this piece of artwork.


Moving on - your crack for the day - Ice Skating Slash Cowboys! Um, yeah, yum anyone?

I feel better. You may all continue on with your days. Anyone doing anything exciting for the weekend?

My car

Last night, I was bitching, pissing and moaning telling a friend about my car issues. He says... try this other place. It's been around forever and they won't rip you off.

Got there and he was right. Ends up that some pinscrew was loose or something and I needed a new battery. So, my total bill this morning was $66.66. The scary part was that last night I went to Costco and got out of there for...$66.66. It's all weird and freaky with the numbers.

Car is now running like a dream (well, except for the head gasket leak, the coolant leak, the rough idle, the shitty breaks and the blown fuses). So, hi-ho hi-ho it's off to Phoenix I go...

My weekend

I'm going to Phoenix this weekend to babysit my nephew. He's 1 1/2 years old. Cute as a button and will probably wear me out. I plan on watching Star Wars (OT Baby) on my brother's hugearsed widescreen tv. I also plan on playing with his Xbox 360. I will be on sporadically this weekend. It all depends on the munchkin.

Finally -

I'm really going to limit what I volunteer to do from now on. No more 6 exchange/challenge fics due by the end of a month. I'm overly stressed and there are certain lovely patient members of my flist who put up with my wibbling over it. It's my own damn fault.

I've decided, 2 at a time at the max in a 3 month period. So, for the summer, I signed up for the SW fic challenge for either Luke/Wedge or LSF Exile/Atton Rand. So, SW peeps - go sign up!!!

As some of you have asked about the "Villians" fic for KOTOR - I will let you all know when the stories are posted. Or, you can always check back the beginning of next week at kotorfanmedia.


How's everyone else?

*feels slightly productive*

I have updated What Dreams May Come with a teaser. Now I just need to re-write parts of it and continue the huge undertaking that it is. Anyone familiar with Knights of the Old Republic (I and II) and would be willing to toss ideas back and forth with me?

I've written my first smut_69 fic. *grins* Now I need to find a beta for it...

I've outlined the rest of Voice in the Dark.

I'm suddenly productive again and I adore it.

Then again, it probably has something to do with my modem dying and me not being able to get online at home.

Update on the Slash version of Jade Empire - my boys have started to fall in love but I had to be rude to Dawn Star to do it. *feels mean*

How's everyone else? Any more thoughts on What Makes You Read or Not Read?

Ok, for those that are getting upset with me for not updating "What Dreams May Come", I will apologize to you. I had some of the next chapter written when that evil bitch known as writer's block whacked me upside the head and knocked me out. Then, I got some inspiration and continued. Most of the chapter was completed when I realized I'd written myself into a corner and needed yet more inspiration to continue.

So, I had to scrap what I'd written and start over. I now have about two-thirds written. I'm not sure that people are really going to like where I'm taking it but I hope that you all do...It's finally going where I want it.

For "Exiled No Longer", I'm about three quarters done for the next two chapters. I will be sending them out for beta'ing shortly and they should be posted within the next two weeks. I have no excuses for not getting these done faster except that I'm lazy.

Stick with me and I promise to do better.
